Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 973 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and Klarna and others), adding 649 KiB and 363 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 98 KiB5 images could be 98 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
209 KiBAbout 209 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
81 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (81 KiB).
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 67 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Total Blocking Time: 18 ms
18 msScripts block the page for only 18 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 229 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 229 requests on a phone: other files 867 KiB (137), scripts 752 KiB (57) and images 492 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images in older formats
8 images (405 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (257 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 38 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 1 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Flower Delivery Dublin | Send Flowers Anywhere in Ireland | Flowers.ie”.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("https://flowers.ie/search?q={search_term_string}")”.
239 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 239 pages on flowers.ie and 10 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 154 characters
Your meta description is 154 characters: “Looking for a florist near you in Ireland? Flowers.ie is the highest-rated florist with same-day or next-day flower del…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Flowers.ie”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://flowers.ie/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://flowers.ie/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
3 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (826 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://flowers.ie/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://flowers.ie/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://flowers.ie/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://flowers.ie/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://flowers.ie/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 85 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
